Compass For Your Cause Programs for Nonprofits

Overview

Easy, Hassle-Free Fundraising for Non-Profit Organizations

At BBVA Compass, we know that fundraising is an important yet challenging part of every non-profit organization. That's why we're excited to offer the Compass For Your Cause program—an easy affinity program for any organization that needs to raise money on an ongoing basis.

Benefits For Your Organization

Once you've signed up for the BBVA Compass for your Cause program, funds easily and continually add up with little administration on your part and little effort on the part of the participants. Here's how it works:

We'll deposit an initial royalty payment of $50 into your BBVA Compass Business Checking account with every new, qualified checking account opened by a participating member.1

For each qualifying3 transaction your members make with their BBVA Compass Visa Debit Card, we'll also deposit royalty payments equal to .25% of the amount of purchase into your account.2

Your organizational image may be displayed on all members' BBVA Compass Visa Debit Card. This is a great way for members to help promote your organization.

If you open a Merchant Services powered by First Data account with BBVA Compass, you will have access to a variety of payment processing solutions for your supporters to easily make donations to your organization. You will also receive a rebate of 10% of your previous month’s bill on the following month’s Merchant Services’ statement!*

In addition, your members will automatically be eligible for the BBVA Compass Workplace Solutions program. Typically reserved for businesses and their employees, this program is available to your organization AT NO COST, and offers a variety of money saving benefits and financial enhancements for your members.

How much can my organization make through the Compass For Your Cause program?

While every organization is different, here's a sample of how easily the money can add up:

The Main Street Cancer Society recently began a Compass For Your Cause relationship and encouraged 100 members to join. Each member makes an average of $500 worth of qualifying debit card purchases per month. How much does their organization make in one year?

$50 x 100 members =

$5,000 initial royalty payments*

$500 (in qualifying purchases)
x 100 members
x 12 months x .25% =

$1,500 Additional Royalties

Total

$6,500 for your organization!

Hassle-free fundraising for your members

No checks to write. No direct mail. No telemarketing. In other words, no hassles. The Compass For Your Cause Program allows your members to support your organization, by doing something many of them do virtually every day—use their debit card for everyday purchases. And it's easy for them to get started. They simply:

Open a BBVA Compass Checking Account1

Open a Compass Visa® Debit Card1

Sign for purchases using the Debit Card

That's all there is to it. When they open an account, you earn a royalty of $50.2 Every time they use their Debit Card for qualifying purchases3, you earn additional royalties. So start earning money the easy way with the Compass For Your Cause program. Contact us today to get started.
